Fame, Fate, and the First Kiss
Fame, Fate, and the First Kiss by Kasie West

Lacey Barnes has dreamed of being an actress for as long as she can remember. So when she gets the opportunity to star in a movie alongside one of Hollywood’s hottest actors, she doesn’t hesitate to accept the part.

But Lacey quickly learns that life in the spotlight isn’t as picture perfect as she imagined. She’s having trouble bonding with her costars, her father has hired the definition of a choir boy, Donavan Lake, to tutor her, and somewhere along the way she’s lost her acting mojo. And just when it seems like things couldn’t get any worse, it looks like someone on set is deliberately trying to sabotage her.

As Lacey’s world spins out of control, it feels like the only person she can count on—whether it’s helping her try to unravel the mystery of who is out to get her or snap her out of her acting funk—is Donavan. But what she doesn’t count on is this straight-laced boy becoming another distraction.

With her entire future riding on this movie, Lacey knows she can’t afford to get sidetracked by a crush. But for the first time in her life Lacey wonders if it’s true that the best stories really do happen when you go off script. 

My Review:

Mood? lighthearted

Pace?  medium

Plot- or character-driven? A mix

Strong character development?  Yes

 Loveable characters? Yes

Diverse cast of characters? N/a

Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love how the main characters are polar opposite.

Review: Wicked Minds by R.A. Smyth

Wicked Minds by R.A. Smyth I may have escaped their house but there is no running from Grayson, Royce, and Logan. Not when Royce knows my most precious secret, Logan refuses to let me go, and Grayson hates to see me remotely happy. As if I don’t have enough to deal with already, between worrying about my daughter and dodging my sleazy boss, not to mention keeping up my grades, now I have to worry about what Royce might do with my secret while attempting to get over Logan and avoid Grayson at all costs. Except Halston is a small campus, and at least one of them keeps showing up in my life. It makes forgetting they exist impossible. However, when shit hits the fan, they’re the ones I end up turning to. The only ones I can trust. Who knew my life would only get more complicated second semester? My Review: My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book was okay. The Split was okay, but I feel like this story is being drawn out more than when it needs to be.

Review: Link by Serena Akeroyd

Link by Serena Akeroyd LILY He’s rough.  He’s ready.  I’m neither.  I’m a sacrificial lamb just waiting to be slaughtered. A socialite spawned by a sadist whose life’s work is to cause misery in others.  My life is a prison cell, until  he  helps me find the key.  He’s not as dark or as dirty as they say he is.  His roughness stirs something in me.  Something primal.  Something no socialite should crave.  He’s a brother in an MC, a world that should be alien to me but somehow, it’s my first real home. It has rules and regulations that make no sense to me, but  one  thing is clear:  Society princesses and MC brothers aren’t a match made in heaven.  But I’m fine with ruling over hell instead…  LINK is the second book in the eleven-book ‘A Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC’ series.  It is  not  a standalone. My Review: My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is really good I really enjo...
